The ACX Universal Metro Router is principally designed for high-density access and pre-aggregation and
is environmentally hardened. The router can be used as a cell site router or pre-aggregation device for
mobile backhaul and a CPE for business or residential access.
The ACX Series routers support TDM, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The chassis
has eight built-in Gigabit Ethernet combination copper or fiber interfaces with PoE+ (65 W) support on
two ports, two Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports, and two 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports. The router also has
two slots for modular interface cards (MICs). For a list of the supported MICs, see the ACX4000 Universal
Metro Router MIC Guide.
The ACX Series router is a single-board router with a built-in Routing Engine and one Packet Forwarding
Engine that has two Flexible PIC Concentrators (shown in the CLI as FPC 0 and FPC 1). Because there is
no switching fabric, the single Packet Forwarding Engine takes care of packet forwarding:
Routing Engine—Provides Layer 3 routing services and network management.
Packet Forwarding Engine—Performs Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet switching, route lookups, and packet
forwarding.
The ACX Series router is powered by Junos OS, supporting extensive L2 and L3 features, IP/MPLS with
traffic engineering, rich network management, fault management, service monitoring and Operation,
Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) capabilities, and an open software development kit (SDK) system
that allows providers to customize and integrate operations with their own management systems. For a
list of related Junos OS documentation, see https://www.juniper.net/documentation/software/junos/.
As part of the mobile backhaul, the ACX Series router at the cell site and the MX Series router at the
aggregation layer provide comprehensive end-to-end Ethernet, MPLS, and OAM features with the one
Junos OS running on both platforms.
The compact routers are 2.5 rack units (U; that is, 4.375 in., or 11.11 cm) tall. Several routers can be stacked
in a single floor-to-ceiling rack for increased port density per unit of floor space.
